COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CHECK

Our health screening programme is very comprehensive and is designed to meet the requirements of your age group and your susceptibility to certain diseases or conditions depending on your time of life. Screening test results and trend reports provide important information as many conditions can be monitored over time.

OPTIONAL TESTS

• Stress ECG

Stress electrocardiogram (on the treadmill) is recommended for men >40 and for women in their menopausal and post-menopausal years, or earlier in the case of family history, risk factors or symptoms.

• Vascular Ultrasound

Ultrasound of the carotid arteries in the neck to detect narrowing (a common source of stroke), the abdominal aorta to detect aneurysms and ABI to detect peripheral arterial disease. This test is recommended for both men and women >50.

• Mammogram

Mammography, as a screening procedure, is not felt necessary for a woman until >45 but would be recommended earlier if there is a family history or indications present.
